Beast - Model 3680XP -Recyclers / Horizontal Grinders
The most popular machine in The Beast lineup is also one of the most popular horizontal grinders in the world. With a 35-inch by 60-inch opening, the Model 3680XP is in a class all its own when it comes to production, fuel efficiency, durability, and producing a truly amazing range of end-products. Municipalities, tree services, logging operations, recycling organizations, sawmills, national companies to one-man operations all use the Model 3680XP, turning waste wood, shingles, construction materials, storm damage debris and more into value-added products. With available engines ranging 540 to 875 horsepower and literally hundreds of configurations, there simply isn’t a more versatile horizontal grinder available.
The heart of The Beast Model 3680XP is the patented 60-tooth cuttermill. Whereas most horizontal grinders have a mill that turns up, The Beast mill turns down, processing material at the base as opposed to fighting against gravity at the top. The mill design itself processes material with more of a cutting action as opposed to grinding, delivering greater machine efficiency while producing a better end-product. A very broad range of tooth and screen options are available to fine-tune the end-product for specific markets, or add the Colorizer to produce top-quality colored mulch. A whole-tree style chipper drum can be ordered for companies looking to chip material, taking advantage of The Beast’s screening ability to produce specifically sized chips for fuel wood markets.
An extremely wide range of convenience options for The Beast allow companies to essentially build a custom machine to suit specific needs. Dedicated shingle grinding packages allow the Model 3680XP to convert roofing shingles into hot-mix asphalt supplement, consistently producing a superior end-product that meets all sizing and consistency requirements for recycling. Various discharge conveyor styles, chip throwers and special infeed options are just some of the items available.
As with all models in The Beast series, the Model 3680XP is designed and equipped with operator safety, convenience, and performance in mind. Numerous standard items such as guards, disable plugs, lockable control cabinets, reversing auto-feed, wireless remote controls, dust suppression systems and replaceable cutter anvils help ensure The Beast gets the job done safety and swiftly. When maintenance is required, major components are designed to be easily accessible for regular servicing. And because all Bandit machines are built by specialized teams utilizing solid welded construction, they have the strength to keep working hard all day, every day. That’s why The Beast® horizontal grinders have been the preferred grinder of choice for thousands of companies all around the world—serving front-line duty in all conditions—for over 20 years.
